Bob,

I hope I can help.

The new law defines a Kit Vehicle as:

"KIT VEHICLE" MEANS A PASSENGER-TYPE MOTOR VEHICLE
ASSEMBLED, BY OTHER THAN A LICENSED MANUFACTURER, FROM A
MANUFACTURED KIT THAT INCLUDES A PREFABRICATED BODY AND CHASSIS
AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A MANUFACTURER'S STATEMENT OF ORIGIN.

then it says:

"Motor vehicle", as applicable to the AIR program, includes
only a motor vehicle that is operated with four wheels or more on the
ground, self-propelled by a spark-ignited engine burning gasoline, gasoline
blends, gaseous fuel, blends of liquid gasoline and gaseous fuels, alcohol,
alcohol blends, or other similar fuels, having a personal property
classification of A, B, or C pursuant to section 42-3-106, and for which
registration in this state is required for operation on the public roads and
highways or which motor vehicle is owned or operated or both by a
nonresident who meets the requirements set forth in section 42-4-310 (1)
(c). "Motor vehicle" does not include KIT VEHICLES; vehicles registered
pursuant to section 42-3-219, 42-3-305 (4), or 42-3-306 (4); vehicles
registered pursuant to section 42-12-102 that are of model year 1959 or
earlier or that have two-stroke cycle engines manufactured prior to 1980; or
vehicles registered as street rods pursuant to section 42-3-211 42-3-201.

And then it says:

THE YEAR THAT IS LISTED ON THE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE OF A KIT VEHICLE SHALL BE THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURE OF THE KIT FROM WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED, AS INDICATED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S STATEMENT OF ORIGIN.

So in other words, our cars will be titled as "Kit Vehicles" which are exempt from the state emissions program. Our cars will be titled as the year on the Manufacturer's statement of origin.

Make sense?
